Today on American Indian Airwaves (AIA), our guest provides an extensive update on Mexico's recent Constitutional reforms between June and July 2025, the February 2025 threat of the Trump Administration listing certain Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and possibly US military intervention, and how the new Constitutional reforms actually expand state and cartel powers which has already produced a spike or escalation in violent deaths of Indigenous peoples. Our guest will also discuss Mexico's President, Claudia Sheinbaum, administration approval of the Palenque-San Cristóbal Highway (~95 miles) and its implications for Indigenous peoples and their traditional homelands, expanded U.S. militarization of ICE in Michigan targeting, rounding up, and deporting immigrants in an era of U.S. authoritarian fascism, and more. Guest: Richard Stahler-Sholk, a retired Professor of Political Science at Eastern Michigan University, and community activist involved with the School of Chiapas which is an organization of grassroots activists and communities working to support the autonomous, indigenous Zapatista communities of Chiapas, Mexico. Schools for Chiapas was created in the mid-1990's by individuals searching for ways to make the world a better place and working to create a world where all worlds fit.

Today's program (originally broadcasted on 2/20/2025) is on Protecting the Remaining Pre-Colonial, Genetic Buffalo Relations. Listen for the hour as our guest provides listeners with an extensive update on the last remaining buffalo relations in and around the Yellowstone National Park region continue to be attacked, prodded, coerced and killed as result of the Yellowstone National Park Services buffalo management practices and the state of Montana's deceptive claims that killing more buffalo relations is necessary for ecologically sustainable purposes, all that and more. In since 2024 and up to March 2025, ~487 buffalo relations have been taken. Once numbering 30-60 million, bison were hunted to near extinction in the late 1800s. Men would shoot them through train windows for purpose for sport or the hide trade and left them to rot on the plains of Mother Earth. Entire herds were wiped out and the buffalo relations were slaughtered to gain control over Indigenous peoples who relied on bison for food, clothing, shelter, tools, cultural and spiritual practices, and more. Settler colonial knew this, and their strategy to eliminate buffalo relations was equivalent to eliminating Indigenous peoples traditional and cultural practices. By 1890, there were less than 1,000 bison with only twenty-three surviving in Yellowstone's Pelican Valley. Today, there are around 6,000 pre-colonial genetically intact buffalo relations living throughout the region who are constantly under threat from the state of Montana, hunters and ranchers, and the Yellowstone National Park's buffalo management practices that could result in the substantial reduction of the buffalo population with its most recent proposal and with support of state of Montana.

Today on American Indian Airwaves, listeners will hear extensive update on the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) newest and creative forms of resistance and rebellion throughout the Chiapas, Mexico region. The EZLN recently underwent internal changes to reflect a more localized community structure and revised their ideas of land ownership in attempting to align with Indigenous or Mayan ways of life. Listeners will hear about the Mayan art as expressed form of creative resistance and rebellion, and refusal of mega development projects threatening their traditional homelands, as well as the increased violence perpetrated against U.S. immigrants in time of rising Authoritarian Fascism with the Trump 2.0 Administration. Guest: Richard Stahler-Sholk, a retired Professor of Political Science at Eastern Michigan University, and community activist involved with the School of Chiapas which is an organization of grassroots activists and communities working to support the autonomous, indigenous Zapatista communities of Chiapas, Mexico.

Trump 2.0 is causing mass anxiety throughout “Indian Country” and across Turtle Island so far in 2025. As of mid-June 2025, the Trump Administration's proposed Fiscal 2026 federal budget calls for nearly $1 billion in cuts to the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and other federal Native American programs. In addition, President Trump signed “Birthright Citizenship” Executive Order 14160 on January 20th, 2025, where the Trump Administration believes it could denaturalize Native American U.S. citizenship, especially if the U.S. Supreme Court in Trump v. CASA, Inc. agrees with the Trump Administration. But Native America nations have an extra-constitutional relationship with the United States government, and this extra-constitutional relationship is the result of more than 380 signed and ratified treaties between Native American nations and the U.S. government – an approximate similar number of treaties were signed but never ratified. The U.S. government, however, must legally and adhere to its “Trust” responsibilities its treaty obligations. Enduring questions are guest addresses: Do the Trump Administration's proposed budget cuts along with the DOGE cuts to federal programs violate the Treaties between Native American nations and the Trust Doctrine? In addition, does President Donald Trump's Birthright Citizenship executive order place Native Americans in real threat of losing their U.S. citizenship contrary to the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924? Lastly, does the combined actions of the Trump Administration plausibly suggest the possibility of new “Terminations” reminiscent of the 1950s? Today on American Indian Airwaves, our guest for the hour provides an in-depth description and analysis on the Trump 2.0 Administrations actions within the context of the understanding the legalities and constitutionality of the treaties between the Native American nations and the U.S. federal government. Today's interview was conducted prior to the four recent SCOTUS and lower court decisions on the Birthright Citizenship executive order. Guest: David E. Wilkins, a citizen of the Lumbee Nation, is a political scientist specializing in federal Indian policy and law. He is the E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Professor in Leadership Studies in the University of Richmond's Jepson School of Leadership Studies and professor emeritus of the University of Minnesota. He studies Indigenous politics, governance, and legal systems, with a particular focus on Native American sovereignty, self-determination, and diplomacy. Professor Wilkins is the author of numerous books including, but not limited to: Indigenous Governance: Clans, Constitutions, and Consent (2024), Of Living Stone: Perspectives on Continuous Knowledge and the Work of Vine Deloria, Jr. (2024), Documents of Native American Political Development, 1933 to Present (2019), Red Prophet: The Punishing Intellectualism of Vine Deloria, Jr.(2018), Dismembered: Native Disenrollment and the Battle for Human Rights (2017), American Indian Politics and the American Political System, second edition, 2017, Hollow Justice: A History of Indigenous Claims in the United States (2013), The Hank Adams Reader (2011), The Legal Universe: Observations of the Foundations of American Law (2011), Documents of Native American Political Development, 1500 to 1933 (2009), On the Drafting of Tribal Constitutions - Felix S.

Today on American Indian Airwaves (AIA), listeners will hear from the Climate Justice Organizer of the Pueblo Action Alliance, an Indigenous women and femme-led grassroots organization, which has been actively building both a community and a movement to resist false solutions being pushed across New Mexico and on Pueblo lands. In collaboration with the New Mexico No False Solutions Coalition, they successfully defeated eight state legislative bills promoting false solutions—including those advancing carbon capture, hydrogen, brackish and reclaimed water projects, and the reclassification of natural gas as renewable energy. The PAA's intent is to keep this coalition growing and continue building power across the state. With this year's turnout, Pueblo Action Alliance—alongside the No False Solutions Coalition—is setting the bar and offering a blueprint for how to build, empower, and uplift communities to defend the sacred from carbon colonialism. Listeners will hear this and more about the various successful campaigns of the PAA in defending the sacred in a “just transition”.

Today on American Indian Airwaves (AIA), listeners will hear our special guest discuss the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), its history and January 2024 modifications along with its implications for Native Americans. In addition, our guest will provide an in-depth analysis about the increased aqua or ocean mining by non-renewable extractive industry companies for rare minerals - as part of the Green Economy – potentially jeopardizing, threatening, and/or destroying Native American sacred sites currently under the ocean. Our guest addresses what this situation means for Native American sacred sites off the coastal shorelines of Indigenous people's traditional territories? Are there protections in place for these sacred sites? What happens when private companies encounter these sacred sites, and Native American ancestors, sacred items, and forms of cultural patrimony? What roles does NAGPRA play in these situations or does it? The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1990 with the intended purposes to protect and return of Native American ancestors, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony. By enacting NAGPRA, Congress recognized that Native American ancestors "must at all times be treated with dignity and respect." Congress also acknowledged that Native American ancestors and other cultural items removed from Federal or tribal lands belong to the lineal descendants, Native American nations, and Native Hawaiian organizations. Guest: • Shannon O'Loughlin is a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and serves the Association on American Indian Affairs as its Chief Executive and Attorney. Shannon has been practicing law for more than 24 years and is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. Shannon serves as Vice Chair of the Board at Native Ways Federation, which educates about informed giving to Native-led nonprofits. • She is a former Chief of Staff to the National Indian Gaming Commission, where she assisted in the development and implementation of national gaming policy, and oversaw the agency's public affairs, technology, compliance and finance divisions. Shannon was appointed by Secretary of the Department of the Interior, Sally Jewell to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Review Committee in 2013; and was appointed by President Barack Obama as the first Native American to the Cultural Property Advisory Committee within the State Department in 2015.

On May 8th, 2025, at the Vatican, the Conclave elected Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost as the 267th Bishop of Rome. Known as Pope Leo XIV, he succeeds Pope Francis, and inherits a long, violent and unresolved legacy of the Vatican's role in committing intergenerational settler colonial violence and genocides against Indigenous peoples, clans, communities, and nations throughout the world. The Vatican's complicity can be traced back to the 15th century issuance of three papal bulls, the first two decreed by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 and Romanus Pontifex (1455); and third by Pope Alexander VI's Inter caetera in 1493. Known as the Doctrine of Dominion or Discovery, the Papal bulls authorized colonial powers such as Spain, Portugal, and other European monarchies and countries to seize lands and subjugate people in Africa and the western hemisphere so long as Indigenous peoples were not Christians. In the United States, the Doctrine of Dominion/discovery, indeed, is the foundation of America's property law and federal Indian law that violently ensures Native Americans dispossession of their traditional and treaty homelands – a situation established by the Vatican in the 15th century. Over the centuries, the Vatican and its missionaries have been responsible for the theft of thousands and thousands of Indigenous peoples sacred or ceremonial items and other forms of cultural patrimony, which have either been on display at the Vatican Museum, or remain hostage at the Vatican and possibly other religious institutions. To date, the Vatican has not repatriated Indigenous ceremonial items back to Indigenous peoples and nations in violating the UNDRIP and denying Indigenous peoples fundamental rights. So, what does Pope Leo XIV mean for Indigenous peoples throughout the world? Pope Leo inherits Pope Francis's legacy which includes: in 2022, the Vatican issuing an apology for the “catastrophic” legacy of residential schools in Canada; in 2023, the Vatican repudiated the “Doctrine of Discovery” without calling for settler colonial countries to do the same, and in 2023, Pope Francis, despite the formal protest of 50 California Indian nations, was responsible for the canonization of the Spanish missionary Junipero Serra who masterminded the 18th-century Alta Spanish mission system that functioned as violent theological network attempting to vanquish Indigenous peoples along the coast of California and parts of the western hemisphere. Guest: Valentin Lopez, Amah Mutsun Nation, is Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Nation, one of three historic California Indigenous Nations that are recognized as Ohlone. Valentin is Mutsun, Awaswas, Chumash and Yokuts (http://amahmutsun.org/governance/tribal-council).

Today on American Indian Airwaves, an in-depth interview with distinguished elder, storyteller, activist, cultural bearer, educator and more, Georgiana Valoyce-Sanchez on her recent book A Light to do Shellwork By,” Indigenous poetry, Chumash family history, sovereignty storytelling, memory holders, contemporary issues, and more. Listen to our guest share some of her poetry with listeners and more. According to Linda Hogan (Chickasaw Nation) “A Light To Do Shellwork By casts a luminous and rare spiritual history on the borders of one woman's belonging. Georgiana's poems hold light from the voice of ancestors and reveal her own place in the line of their history. Like her father, an exquisite carver, she uses her power with words to inscribe her own origins from Indigenous Ocean people as well as the desert nations who travel west in their song journey for salt. She sings a new passage, a shining connection of present with past and by the light of her words, this writer also delineates another truth of colonial history”. Guest: Georgiana Valoyce-Sanchez (Chumash and O'odham Nations), Storyteller, Elder, Grandmother, Community Organizer, former adjunct faculty at California State University, Long Beach, and more.

Having a complete understanding of the financial system we've become accustomed to since birth is not only advantageous, but it's an absolute must. The gap between really understanding the impact and full gravity of inflation and living by a feeling or a suspicion is too wide to ignore. Nic Carter is an entrepreneur, investor, columnist and advisor in the Bitcoin crypto space. He's joining Tom today to break down some principle ideas and thoughts to help you at least research what you should be doing with your money, your government issued and government backed money. What's happening with crypto and NFTs isn't something you can ignore or sleep through. Bitcoin has been going strong for more than a decade. You have a moral obligation to yourself and to your family to at least understand how inflation works, why increasing assets is like theft of your dollar's value and how you can protect yourself and be part of the wealth redistribution in a way that benefits you more than harms you.

From political power plays to personal reflections, this episode covers it all.

We explore the Israel-Palestine conflict, the foundational values of America, and the implications of immigration policies on national identity.

It's pretty normal that you think of reality being the world around us, the tangible things you see and interact with. You probably even include and make space for how your emotions influence perception and tie that into what creates your reality. Donald Hoffman is joining Tom for another mind-bending episode to challenge if we're actually living in a false reality. Donald Hoffman is a cognitive scientist that has argued against reality and the limitations of spacetime. Some questions being posed in this episode that will stretch your beyond your limits are: -What is beyond spacetime? -What is the true structure of objective reality? -Is it possible evolution has shaped us in a way that guides our behaviors and therefore how we see objective reality? -His idea of comparing our current reality to that of living in a virtual headset is being taken to the next few levels up and exploring the strategies we use to survive the game of life. Check out Donald Hoffman's latest book, The Case Against Reality, Why Evolution Hid The Truth From Our Eyes here: https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-Reality-Evolution-Truth/dp/0393254690 [Original air date: 1-17-23] Follow Donald Hoffman: Website:http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/ Email: ddhoff@uci.edu Twitter: https://twitter.com/donalddhoffman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donalddhoffman/ SPONSORS: Head to https://netsuite.com/THEORY for Netsuite's one-of-a-kind flexible financing program for a few more weeks!  Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/impact.

Welcome to another power-packed episode of Impact Theory, I'm Tom Bilyeu!  In this episode, I'm joined by David Friedberg, a self-described “extreme optimist” who believes that capitalism – specifically entrepreneurship – is the fastest way to improve human productivity and potential, unlocking a more abundant and sustainable future for all.  Today we're getting into the economic challenges the U.S. face, specifically the risks associated with high debt relative to GDP, and how excessive taxation to service this debt can stifle investment and have lasting detrimental effects on economic growth. We explore the transformative potential of gene editing, including promises for agricultural advancement and just be the answer to sustainable nutrition for a rapidly growing global population. We also examine the balance between technological progress and regulatory oversight, the societal divide over adopting new innovations, and how AI could redefine creativity and productivity.  If you're serious about innovation and understanding the future of our economy, you won't want to miss this episode. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don't miss Part 2 of this convo for even more wisdom from David Friedberg.

To know where you are going, they say you should know where you've been. Science fiction has been well documented for its often accurate predictions and a loved being a social curiosity for many. In this episode, Tom is joined by physicist and bestselling science fiction author, David Brin. David exposes how science fiction can be more accurately described as “speculative history” than anything else. Their conversation explores society through history from the Periclean times all the way through modern U.S. politics and what a transparent society top-down, and bottom-up would imply and necessitate.

Why is being rich something so many people want, but so few achieve. Does being successful guarantee becoming rich? Obviously that requires you to define what success is for you and your journey. The funny twist in all of this is that being rich is so easily fantasized and yet the work it takes to become rich and successful is barely thought of. Jim Rohn said, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” As hard as that is to accept as truth, it is evident when you look at elite athletes, world-class performers, and the best of the best in any field. When you watch this, understand that Tom's drive is always fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. The work it takes to achieve his level of success is not easy nor is it for the faint of heart. It's not impossible, and it's not the only path forward, but it has proven to be majorly successful over and over again. The path to becoming rich and successful is going to require you to dig deep and it requires skills, grit, and determination for you to tap into a level of potential you never knew was possible.

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory, I'm Tom Bilyeu!  In today's episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as we tackle a wide range of critical issues facing America today. RFK is a politician from the Kennedy Family, he is a son of U.S. attorney general and senator Robert F. Kennedy, and nephew of U.S. president John F. Kennedy and senator Ted Kennedy. He is also an advocate for public health, border security, and political reform, and an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election.  From the harrowing realities at the U.S. border, RFK underscores the urgent need for strong border security and a compassionate, streamlined immigration process. He also shares his bold ideas for cutting the military budget, focusing on economic power rather than military might, and advocating for sound fiscal policies to address national debt and inflation. We also discuss:  - Issues of chronic disease, addiction, and economic challenges - Printing money, inflation, and national debt as economic threats - Embracing blockchain & cryptocurrency to counter inflation - Integrating bitcoin to save the dollar & create wealth - Decline in American values & constitutional adherence - Compromised press & spread of government propaganda - Social media algorithms amplifying societal polarization This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don't miss Part 2 of this convo for even more with RFK.

If you don't understand how to manage your money then your chance of achieving financial success and freedom goes to zero. When you don't know the rules to the game of money it's almost impossible to win. Wallstreet Trapper built the skills he needed to become a fundamental investor, a speaker, a stock market education, and an entrepreneur after doing over 8 years in prison, selling drugs and not having any advantages in life. One of the best things you can consider doing to improve your finances is to get into stocks, learn how to leverage real estate and build a business that generates value. Something you'll want to consider from this episode: Have you learned the money game Are you prepared to exit the money matrix How can you become an investor What is keeping 99% of people broke [Original air date: 3-30-23]. QUOTES: “Wealthy people do three things. They stop trading time for money, they make their money work for them and they give as much value to people as they can.” “Just coming up in the streets you only see the game from the lowest level, and you look at everybody else in part admiration and part jealousy.” “Being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top.” “Once I broke the game down to a way I could understand it, it wasn't about me being brilliant , it was like how do I make the game winnable for me” “Everybody won't be able to build a million dollar business, but everybody can invest in one.” “If you're bold enough to bet on the future and be patient enough to let it take place you will win and you will win big.” “A dollar that's not moving is a dollar that's losing.” Follow Wallstreet Trapper: Website: https://www.wallstreettrapper.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Wallstreet504 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR6hXiWOlFWc46qMFMClKHA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wall_street_trapper/ SPONSORS: Head to https://netsuite.com/THEORY for Netsuite's one-of-a-kind flexible financing program for a few more weeks!  For comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit https://yahoofinance.com Visit https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory to get 10% off your first month  Explore the Range Rover Sport at https://landroverusa.com Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/impact.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt researches moral psychology to help us understand ourselves and our world better.

Welcome to Impact Theory, I'm Tom Bilyeu and in today's episode my guest Michael Malice and I dive deep into the realm of societal norms, politics, and cultural dynamics to help you break free from the "factory settings" of default societal beliefs. Michael Malice is widely known as an anarchist, author, and podcaster who challenges conventional views on political authority. Through his work, he pushes for a deeper understanding of the structures that govern us. Together, we debate the impact of governmental actions on society, delve into the psychological underpinnings of human behavior, and ponder the potential of anarchism as a viable societal framework. We also touch on:  - Transient cultural issues like transgender bathrooms and miniskirts  - Peoples' resistance to thinking beyond societal norms - Effectiveness of inflicting personal consequences in political change - Mao, North Korea, and USSR historical context - Implications of an anarchist system - Voting as a ritual versus a practical tool for change - Inevitability of hierarchy - Anarchism and political legitimacy - Thinking from first principles - Intellectual curiosity in communication - Armed populations as a defense against government overreach - The status-seeking nature of humans and its manipulation - Media narratives and trust - Human behavior and political dynamics - Risk of global hegemony and practical limitations Whether you're a skeptic or an advocate of anarchism, prepare to have your beliefs examined and your assumptions questioned. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don't miss Part 2 of this convo for even more insights from Michael Malice.

Until now, you probably haven't associated infertility with the collapse of our global population. From the U.S. to India, to South Korea, Canada, the U.K. and more, fertility rates are reaching critical levels. Humans now meet 3 criterias for being an endangered species. If that doesn't have you totally rattled yet, our guest today, Dr. Shanna Swan, epidemiologist best known for research she published in 2017 which set off alarms and caught the attention of major media and scholars around the world, joins Tom to highlight the many factors contributing to a 50% drop in fertility rates, testosterone, and reproductive function. Shanna's work quickly became the world's 26th most referenced scientific paper, and her latest book, Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, delivers a less than optimistic view of guaranteed economic population collapse. The information Dr. Shanna shares brings up major concerns for the future of humanity as a species and for our current health. Chemicals leading to our extinction have some government incentivizing people to have sex and procreate. Women's education and rights to contraception, and urbanization are contributing to women's lack of interest in birthing 5 and 6 kids. Endocrine disrupting chemicals are nearly unavoidable as they're in what you eat, drink and breathe The under masculinization of males is an actual problem impacting their lifespan Lifestyle factors are part of this conversation and include obesity, stress, binge drinking, and poor metabolic health Shanna gives a masterclass on phthalates, a chemical found in plastics that make them softer, helps products be more absorbable, holds scent and color better in everyday products we're accustomed to using, and she shares a simple poem to help you identify safer recycled plastic options.

Welcome back to part two with Donald Hoffman. In this episode, we take a deep exploration into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the very fabric of spacetime itself. Donald Hoffman challenges our conventional understanding of the world, proposing revolutionary ideas that our perceptions are mere virtual realities crafted by evolution to guide adaptive behavior rather than reveal the objective truth. We delve into quantum entanglement, the concept of local realism, and the tantalizing mysteries beyond spacetime, examining how these ideas could reshape our perception of reality. Hoffman also discusses the intricate dynamics of human perception, the role of evolutionary game theory, and the mind-boggling complexity of decorated permutations in particle physics. As we question whether consciousness itself might be fundamental, prepare to embark on a journey that stretches the boundaries of science and philosophy. Tune in, as Tom Bilyeu and Donald Hoffman bring you insights that could radically alter your understanding of the universe. SHOW NOTES 00:00 Embrace learning, adjust, and explore scientific possibilities. 20:16 Evolution, natural selection, and entropy in science. 43:56 Analogizing video game patterns to chess strategy. 59:38 Quantum array with faster-than-light information travel. 01:09:28 Understanding the vastness of undiscovered truth. 01:31:49 The persistent collapse of probabilities and observation. 01:40:42 Lay person explores AI and consciousness theory. 01:56:33 Clarifying self-awareness and consciousness, potential and awareness. 02:18:35 Questioning reality and its true structure. 02:30:42 Beliefs don't fundamentally affect what we see. 02:38:47 AI generates endless probable shapes, patterns, representations. 02:51:16 Consciousness, spacetime, and simulation in seven words. 03:08:06 Perception limited by headset, despite vast world. 03:29:43 We must accept limits of scientific theories. 03:52:47 Leveraging AI and data for predictive insights. 03:54:37 Master both data sets to make predictions. 04:11:52 Infants demonstrate object permanence at an early age.
